Sweep the World

Zampt Warren was somewhat hesitant to get the order to land from the rear. Although his front fleet did not sink many ships, there was more or less attrition. In the beginning, the Han army's bed crossbow was covered. Considering the accuracy, a considerable part of the warships are damaged. The most important thing is that the formations are full of warships, and there are no landing soldiers.

"Let's land." Zampte Warren had no choice but to disobey the military order: "Let those warships with the most severe damage to the beach."

The place chosen by Pingman’s school captain’s department is a natural harbour, but it must be said that the deep water area that is directly close to the coastline is not large, and most of the water villages still have beaches.

The water village originally had a ferry crossing that stretched out of the coast, but wasn't it cleaned up by the fire? Zampte Warren would hesitate to land, but learned that everything that should be burned in the water village was burned. On the other hand, he could guess that it was the Han army deliberately, and he was convinced that the Han army was hit by the raid. The burning of the ferry was meant to cause landing problems for the Gupta fleet!

The Han army on the coastline and land began to launch various long-range attack weapons. For a while, the sky once again staged a "meteor shower". It was covered by arrows every few breaths, and the rockets covered a large area, not only Zampte Hua. The battleship formation that Lun was in was full of burning arrows, and the sea was also full of arrows.

In that kind of rocket rain environment, twenty or so Gupta warships rushed toward the beach at a decisive battle speed. The bottom of the ship touched the seabed with a sound first, followed by a string of toothy friction. It didn't take long for the nooses to be dropped on these warships. Soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty slid down from the sides of the ships using nooses. Inevitably, the soldiers repeatedly screamed or snorted with arrows.

More Gupta warships in the rear are lowering small boats. Each lowered one is to carry soldiers. Then they shouted chants and rowed the oars to advance to the shore. They also asked the soldiers with shields to organize the shield wall in front. In order to prevent arrows, in fact, the shield wall can also protect the people in front, so those behind should ask for more blessings.

On the top of the mountain, Huan Wen has always been expressionless. The order he just gave is not to let the Gupta dynasty land too easily. The major damage that should be given is still to be done. Otherwise, being landed too easily will make the Han army incompetent and incompetent. Make the enemy aware of the trap.

Speaking of the deployment of arrow formations, the Central Plains dynasty, a civilization that relied on infantry as its main force for most of the time, relied on the sharpness of crossbows to fight against nomads. After a long time of confrontation with nomads, the use of arrow formations has long been carved into the bones of civilized troops. , What time to launch, which direction to cover, how many times to cover, everything is very particular.

Nearly 80,000 horses were stationed at the base of the Pingman Captain's Department. In addition to the soldiers who had separated from the two standing armies, there were 40,000 servants from the Japanese nations, and the rest were the permanent personnel belonging to the Pingman Captain's Department.

The standing army of the Han Dynasty has only 15,000 troops, and the establishment is very detailed. For example, there are three divisions. Among the five tunes of each division, there will be at least one bow and crossbow, and the rest are melee units. , The melee arms distinguish many types of infantry. In addition to the cavalry army, the infantry army will be assigned to a scout team in each song, and the scout team must have a standard number of horses.

The two standing corps in the Southern Expeditionary Army sequence are both infantry corps. Just transporting their personnel and ancillary materials to the Pingman Lieutenant’s Department used more than 500 transport ships. Multiplied by seven times, after all, the cavalry army has a large number of horses in addition to men and equipment.

The crossbow troops belonging to the two standing armies, plus the crossbowmen of the Pingman Captain's Department itself, and the bowmen of the Servant Army of the Japanese States, they rarely know what the plan is. The enemy was wiped out on the beach. Under their fierceness, the firing frequency has increased somewhat, and the arrows aimed at the beaches are covered quickly and urgently, and none of the invading enemies are brought close to the stronghold on the land.

"It was completely suppressed!"

Zampt Warren has eyes to see, and his soldiers can't be said to be brave, but the flesh and blood body is covered by a dense arrow array, it is really not courage to avoid being shot by arrows. He also observed that the Han army’s arrow formations were very particular. In addition to the direct-flying shots, there were also projectiles falling from the top of the head. People could not take care of the top of the head even if they could take care of the front. Naturally, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Fortunately for the Gupta dynasty, it may be that all the crossbows of the Han army were destroyed in the water village. At least no crossbows were fired on the shore, so that the warships could get close enough to the coastline. It's miserable, but at least it won't be directly sunk by a crossbow.

"Stop sending down the warriors." Zampte Warren was bleeding. They were not the army, and they were all sailors who served in the warships. The loss was really worthless. He yelled: "Request to evacuate to the rear!"

People are dying on the battlefield all the time. Not only are the troops on the beach dying, but the ships on the battleship are also covered by arrows repeatedly and casualties. Zampte Warren brings troops from their family. If they can rush It’s worth it to get as many casualties as possible, and Katluk Karp will definitely give compensation later, but the casualties that can’t make it will have no credit at all, and will be compensated, but it’s not the same level as the compensation after meritorious service. .

"Let them go down." Katluk Karp quickly agreed to Zampte Warren's request. He could see the battle from where he was just now, and it was enough to know that Zampte Warren was really working hard, not **** and skidding. He waved his hand: "Order Aptra to join the battle!"

Aptra tends to be female in naming Ahsan, but the Aptra mentioned by Katluk Karp is actually a black brawny, or the captain of his family’s guard, he was on the expedition this time. Right-hand man.

Aptra's ancestors came from Africa. They were captured by the Romans and sold to Asan through trade. From his grandfather, he became the slave warrior of the Karp family, and his father's generation became the captain of the guard.

Because it is a slave, Aptra only has a name and no surname. Not only will he be a slave, but if there is no change, his descendants will be slaves.

There are many types of slaves in Ah San. In fact, slaves have a higher social status than untouchables. For example, Aputra, a slave who can become a family guard captain, is more powerful than Kshatriya to some extent, but his status is definitely not comparable to Kshatriya. Their power not only comes from their own excellence, but also from the trust and appreciation of their masters.

A formation of civilian ships began to rush forward under the leadership of Aptra. They also braved the dense arrows to reach the beachhead respectively, and each ship would drop nooses for people to disembark. The difference is that these boats will lift off the planks to touch the ground, and some soldiers who think they are good at all simply jump off the boat.

Under the arrow formation, the Gupta landing troops approaching the beach are not much better than their counterparts a little bit ahead. People falling down with arrows can be seen everywhere, so that more corpses are added to the beach, and the corpses are left behind. The red blood pooled and flowed to the sea, staining the sea water on the beach.

"Organize a shield wall to cover!" Aputra was wearing chain mail, holding a shield in one hand, and a large scimitar in the other. His face was full of hideous shouts: "Don't run around, use the shield wall. Disembark under cover!"

Ah San’s level of civilization is really not bad, and the Gupta dynasty came into contact with many civilizations because of the prosperous maritime trade. There are too many styles of armor. Plate armor and chain armor are more commonly used on metal armor, most of them. 'S Asan prefers chain mail

The sloping wooden planks on the ship reached the ground. Of course, this was to prepare beforehand for the landing, so that Gupta’s landing troops could organize the shield wall from the warship to the land.

Perhaps the shield wall tactics of the landing troops of the Gupta Dynasty took effect, or it was possible that the arrow replenishment speed of the Han army could not keep up with the consumption, the coverage speed of the arrow array was reduced, and the density was not as high as it was at the beginning. When they stepped on the land, Gupta’s landing troops were already slowly advancing under the cover of the shield wall.

On the top of the mountain, Huan Wen put down the telescope in his hand and instructed the herald next to him: "Order the servants to attack."

The Han army has mature long-distance communication methods, which can be semaphore communication, or rely on the rhythm of war drums or horns to give orders, and Huan Wen's orders are quickly implemented.

Before the Japanese servant army entered the battle, the crossbow troops that organized the arrow formation naturally moved to a clear position, causing the intensity of the arrow formation to be reduced.

Servants from the Japanese Islands, they are not qualified to wear the uniforms of the Han army. They will have their own colored uniforms because of the different nobles to which they belong. There are many varieties, and the number of bamboo armor is the largest.

By the way, the current Wa Islands have not obtained smelting technology from the Central Plains, and Japanese swords have not actually appeared yet. Like all civilizations, they mainly use war swords or weapons such as war swords, spears, and spears.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the heavens!"

Thousands of people shouted out the battle cry. The "Emperor" is not anyone on the Wa Islands, but Liu Yan who has not ascended the throne for the time being; the "Heavenly Dynasty" they are shouting is naturally the sovereign state of Han.

Having said that, there is no emperor on the islands. Yamato is currently a country of the islands, and there is only one king on the islands, and the rest are chiefs. That king was the Japanese king who was granted the title of Cao Wei.

How did Yamato on the Japanese islands become a nation? It was after Yamato defeated and annexed other countries. In the beginning, the Yamato nation was the national title "Wo" that continued the Central Plains dynasty. It was not renamed Japan until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was not recognized by Yang Sui and Li Tang (Wu Zhou). It was not until the Song Dynasty. Recognize its country name.

The battle name of the servant army was not required by the Han army. It was that after the three countries of the peninsula were destroyed, each country carried out solemn discussions and research. Since then, it has been the battle name of the Japanese islands. It's so shouting.

Thousands of Japanese people could still shout neatly at first, but there must be chaos behind them, and they rushed out over the barrier.

Aptra was pleased to see that the Han army (servant army) was about to charge and counterattack. He raised the scimitar and shouted something, and the Gupta archer started shooting arrows.

The servant army saw the Gupta dynasty's army shooting arrows and did not stop the charge. All those with shields in their hands were raised up, and the armored Japanese guarded the vital points and continued to charge.

Archers of the Gupta dynasty basically used longbows. The longbows were mainly bamboo bows. Because the bowstrings lost tension due to the water dripping, the range of the arrows launched was far less than normal. Only a few of them were servants who fell in the charge. In the army, more often fall to the ground without flying far.

Seeing that the arrows fired by the Gupta archers only seldom fell, the servants fell to the ground early, and in an instant there was another cry of "Long live the emperor", and their morale rose a little in an instant.

"Kill three more, just kill three more!!!" Of course Inu Lang is a Japanese, a servant of the Kyushu State, rushing and chanting: "Just kill three more, I can also become a celestial person!"

Han is accepting outstanding Japanese Japanese nationality ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You must turn in five heads. If you are a soldier (army), you only need one. Japanese widows who worship the Kingdom of Heaven are very important to become one. "Shang Guoren" are still very keen.

The Gupta landing troops found that their long-range attacks were weak, and they were eager to gain a foothold on the beachhead. They launched a counterattack under the leadership of Aptra himself.

On the beachhead, soldiers from two different camps quickly collided with each other and fought hand-to-hand, and further behind were the warships and small boats of the Gupta dynasty continuously projecting troops.

On the top of the mountain, Huan Wen saw that most of the Gupta dynasty fleet was close to the coastline. He raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, and said: "It is agreed that the sky is full of smoke and fire fills up immediately. They should be there soon?"

Si Hongzhuang nodded silently. He also has a telescope to observe from a distance. What he has been watching is the fierce battle between his seven warships and more than fifty ships. There is only one ship that still hoists his flag, and the other surviving one. The damaged ship was in one place with a group of unidentified (Persian Sassanian) ships.

It took nearly three hours from the start of the war to the landing of the Gupta dynasty. The Han fleet, with Li Mai as the main and Fu Wei as the auxiliary, was hidden around the archipelago (Andaman Islands). They discovered that the war port had already started the war and immediately pulled out the anchor. It takes about four hours to reach the battlefield.

If the Gupta dynasty did not land, Huanwen would be a bit difficult to handle. The problem is that the Gupta dynasty landed. Once there are people on land, Gupta will not be so decisive if they want to retreat. Gupta’s fleet will enter the water village and give it to Han. The navy blocked the opportunity for annihilation.

"After this battle, the big man can gain a firm foothold here." Huan Wen didn't want that. His face finally didn't show a blank expression anymore, he was replaced with a hideous expression: "The name of the big man has not been heard outside the territory for a long time. Use these enemy forces to sacrifice their flags in a positive manner!"
